I think it's crap that I now have to choose between spending no mana for no healing, or spending a lot of mana for a lot of healing that's going to become overhealing. Why can't I cast a spell that costs a medium amount of mana and heals for a medium-high amount of health?

There's no rational thought behind this change, so far as I can see. I can only see it hurting everyone, particularly healers.

You do realize that both Pallies and Shaman will now get back 100% on a crit heal if they take the respective holy/resto talents? With the change as well that all items will be set with just +spell power instead of +healing power, you will see a number of Mail items with large amounts of spell crit as spell hit is pretty useless to Elemental Shammies (only need like 3% or 4% hit total to cap) which means that there will be a lot of mail with crit running around giving back mana equal to whatever the percent of crit you have multiplied by the heal costs.
